Dubstep?

[Rokku]

Dubstep is like having to take a dump after three days. its a logical thing that happens, but what came to make that dump originally has been eaten , digested and already enjoyed.
However good it feels to let that plopper out, it still smells and isnt something you leave out in the open for others to step in. Some ploppers dont smell, or are dry enough to handle or are speckled with undigested corn which makes it unique. But at the end of the day it is still shit. If played on a proper system you have things like 2girls1cup... People just have their jaws dropping and have to spread the word what it feels like to have bass pass through your body.

Respectfully disagree. I really like dubstep and think it goes well in a mix with Rap.

I am with the OP.

What I don't understand is how people dance to it. When I think of dancing, I think of gettin down with my lady, gettin close and going in and out of dancing with her and letting her dance.

Dubstep seems like someone with parkinsons decided to get up on the dance floor. Case in point

I'd have to disagree with DJfrogstars post. to you it may sound like complete shit but that's just a personal preference dude

Nothing wrong with a good skank. And no one dances to dubstep like that girl.

I was introduced to Dubstep by Mary Anne Hobbs' radio special on BBC. It's called Dubstep Warz (2006) and it is considered by a significant few to be one of the genre's breakthrough events (hell, I still have it on my PC). This show was the first I heard of Skream, Benga, Coki, and Kode 9. I remember that what grabbed me was the BASS. Anyway, here is a link to the show.

As has been said, there isn't a one-size-fits-all formula for a Dubstep sound. I too like the combination of Dubstep and certain Hip-Hop styles (spoken word styles work best to me) but there are a ton of "purists" in the UK who absolutely hate it. Different strokes for various folks. Here is an example of a great mashup of the two - this lives on my iPod.

Finally, if you want to experience a live Dubstep mix show over the interwebs, there is a crew out of LA called Bombadub that host a weekly Friday slot on sub.fm (8-10 PM PST). It's also carried over UStream and they are big with interacting with the video camera and IRC chat as the show is playing. Check them out here.

Sift around a bit before deciding whether this sound is for you or not. There are a lot of sub-styles but one thing is for certain - Dubstep emphasizes sub-frequencies that you can feel more than you can hear and that does strange but great things to the human body. Not trying to sound corny at all - I am actually reading a book that goes into harmonics frequencies and such.

Ok I'm sorry this is not supposed to turn into a I hate Dubstep VS. Dubstep Rulezzz (Yes 3 z's :P ) Kinda thread. I was simply looking for more insight into the genre. All music has it's merits and none can really to be said to be better than the other it's all in how we hear it. Thanks everyone for the constructive posts many have helped me broaden into some new sounds and music I would have avoided. I still don't care too much for most Dubstep but I do realize there is some out there I could enjoy. Thanks.

have you checked outt stuff that isn´t that filthy? something like:
appleblim, clubroot, burial, el-b, shackleton etc. this is more athmospheric stuff.
at home i just listen to such kind of dubstep, but when gooing to the club i love the filthy stuff...
2 cents
